    An imperial censor suggested, and the plan approved by the general was approved in the Xuanshi Hall, without the other courtiers even having a chance to express their opinions.  Although everyone knows that this is a matter of benefit to the country, when their own interests are really touched, almost 70% of the courtiers still feel a little uncomfortable.

    Even if the courtiers are like this, when this bill is implemented on those princes, you can only imagine what these people will think!

    No matter how powerful the country is, no matter how enlightened the people are, when they voluntarily do something that harms their own interests but benefits the people of the country, these people may still feel that they have gained a reputation and can still make the right choice between gains and losses.  However, when the personal interests of these people are forcibly taken away to safeguard the country, many people will not feel that their lost interests are a manifestation of patriotism, but will instead feel resentful.

    At present, the Han Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the country does not have much time to wait. Waiting for these powerful princes to wake up and donate food, then now the only option is to take the path of enforcement, which will cause resentment among the powerful.  We must find an outlet, and this outlet must not be the state power, otherwise it will become a resurgence of external troubles and internal troubles, so a person who takes the blame must stand up at this time!

    Huo Guang looked at Sang Hongyang, and he first felt that this destined opponent had such a great side.

    At this moment, Huo Guang's thoughts were no longer on the phrase "reduce the salary of the minister, and lend the prince's annual rent".  He found that after such a big circle, Sang Hongyang's ending might not change much from the original history.

    This is the sorrow of LegalismThis is the sorrow of Sang Hongyang

    After Taisun took charge of the country, the first court meeting in Xuanshi Palace ended in dullness.  As for the focus of the court meeting, the imperial censor Sang Hongyang was surrounded by a few confidants, but other courtiers deliberately avoided him. For a time, this once powerful figure seemed to be isolated.

    When Huo Guang returned to the Hou Mansion, the method of borrowing grain had been decided. The specific details were implemented by Sang Hongyang, the imperial censor, but he didn't have much to do.

    While the dignitaries of Chang'an were still consuming the court's food borrowing bill, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had retreated to Changle Palace, was also listening to Zhang Anshi's report on what happened in the court today.

    "Reducing the official's salary, lending the prince's annual rent Why did Sang Hongyang change when Huo Guang came back?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to be in good mood today, but when he heard Zhang Anshi repeating Sang Hongyang's story  When he said that, his face became not very pretty.

    "I'm afraid most of the ministers' faces are not good-looking, right?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was silent for a moment and then asked Zhang Anshi.

    "Your Majesty, you have a clear warning!" Zhang Anshi bowed slightly and responded. This kind of question did not require him to give a clear answer.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not go to the Xuanshi Palace, but it was as if he were there in person.

    "Alas you go and make a decree. Donate one year's tax from Maolingyi." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed and issued his first decree after retreating to Changle Palace.

    "No, I will draft the edict now." Zhang Anshi replied respectfully. He knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was setting an example. As long as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued this edict, all the princes in the world could only hold their noses and take the grain, even if they were unwilling to do so.  come out.  Liu Che is still the lord of the Han Dynasty and the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the hearts of princes and common people.

    The emperor has paid out all the land rent within the scope of his mausoleum. Who dares to quarrel over this matter?

    "Wait a minute, let's change the word "donate" to "borrow"" Zhang Anshi had already turned around and walked a few steps. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly stopped him and asked to change the word "donate" back to the word "borrow".

    Huo Guang returned to the Hou Mansion and started busy with the funeral of Zhuo Wenjun. In this era, both emperors, generals and common people paid great attention to funerals after death.  There were no descendants of Zhuo Wenjun in Chang'an, so Huo Guang carried out the pre-encryption rituals as his nephew.

    "General, Zhuo Weng has arrived in Chang'an. He will be at his residence in half an hour." At dusk, Huo Guang was still kneeling in front of the temporary mourning hall. Zhen Youcai quietly approached Huo Guang and whispered in his ear.

    "Why so fast? Didn't you say there are still a few days left?" Huo Guang contacted Zhuo Junchen on the day he returned to Chang'an. The troops of King Liang and Liu Kang went to Guangcheng, Youbeiping, while the army of Qianwei from Shu County continued to march towards Chang'an.  Zhuo Junchen has also been following the army.

    "Zhuo Weng heard that the old lady passed away, so he came first. It will take three days for the army from Shu County to arrive in Chang'an." Zhen Youcai explained quickly.

    "Well, it's okay if you come, go tell Yuan You and open the city gate for Zhuo Junchen tonight." Huo Guang nodded slightly and gave another instruction.

    The four gates of Chang'an are closed at night, and the city gates are generally not opened.  Now Huo Guang has handed over the defense of Chang'an to Wang Yuanyou, and letting someone in in the middle of the night is just a word from him.That¡¯s all.

    When the sky in Chang'an City gradually darkened and the lights began to light up, Zhuo Junchen finally appeared in the Hou Mansion after a long journey. It has to be said that the Zhuo family in Shu County does have the gene for longevity.  Zhuo Wenjun lived past the age of seventy, and although Zhuo Junchen was not as old as seventy, he also lived past the age of sixty.  At this age, Zhuo Junchen could still travel from Shu County to Chang'an. An old man of this age would not be able to endure such a thousand-mile journey, but Zhuo Junchen seemed to be in good condition.

    Huo Guang personally greeted Zhuo Junchen when he arrived. The Zhuo family in Shu County has helped Huo Guang so much over the years, and it has become Huo Guang's personal weapons arsenal and treasury.

    "Zhuo Weng" greeted Zhuo Junchen and Huo Guang first as soon as he saw them. He already regarded these two siblings as his elders, without any airs of a general.

    "I don't dare to be called such a general, so you might as well call me Junchen." Zhuo Junchen bowed and bowed. He was able to achieve his current status and power as a businessman because of Huo Guang's secret support and the glory of his sister.  He didn't dare to really think that he was Huo Guang's elder.

    "Who is this?" Huo Guang looked at the person next to Zhuo Junchen and asked. Huo Guang didn't worry too much about the title of Zhuo Junchen. He got used to shouting in the opposite direction.

    This time, Zhuo Junchen arrived first. In addition to two servants, there was an old man who was about the same age as Zhuo Junchen. Judging from the way he dressed, he did not look like a servant of the Zhuo family. Moreover, this man was very well dressed.  The ancient style is somewhat similar to that of Wang Huaigu back then.

    "The common people have come to Hong to pay their respects to the general." Before Zhuo Junchen could introduce him, the old man in ancient clothes took the initiative to salute Huo Guang and announced his name.

    "The eldest son is from Langzhong, Ba County. He is a rare and strange man in the world. He is outstanding in agriculture, mulberry, water conservancy, astronomy and arithmetic. Now that the general is in charge of the court, it is the time for him to appoint people. Junchen will take care of him.  I recommend you to the general." Zhuo Junchen said at the right time beside Huo Guang.

    "Even if Zhuo Weng recommends it, he must be outstanding. After these few days of work, I will introduce Mr. Chang Gong to His Highness Changsun." Huo Guang said politely. He estimated that the Chang Gong was Luo Xia Hong.  .  However, Huo Guang did not promise anything immediately, he just said that he would introduce him to Liu Jin.

    Luo Xia Hong bowed again, but it could be seen that he was slightly disappointed.  Although Huo Guang's behavior was quite polite, his perfunctory attitude was also a bit obvious.

    Zhuo Junchen then went to pay homage to Zhuo Wenjun, while Luo Xiahong was arranged to live in Huo Guang's mansion.  That night, Huo Guang summoned Zhuo Junchen alone in his study. The two had not seen each other for many years, and many matters needed to be discussed in person.

    But Huo Guang still didn¡¯t know that this time Zhuo Junchen not only brought him an army of 60,000, but also brought him many people and things that changed the history of the Han Dynasty and the destiny of the empire.

    "Which theory did Luo Xia Hong inherit?" Huo Guang directly asked Luo Xia Hong in the study. Most of the somewhat capable people in this era inherited the teachings of a certain school during the Warring States Period.

    "The Changgong claims to be the heir of Taoism, but he is very good at farming, mulberry, water conservancy, medicine and arithmetic. In the land of Bashu, as long as grains are planted according to the days set by the Changgong, the cycle will be shorter, and the harvest will be better than ordinary methods.  Planting yields can be increased by 20%, and pests are less likely to breed." Zhuo Junchen said with a serious face. In this era, the increase in grain output is a big deal. It was precisely after seeing this that Zhuo Junchen introduced Luo Xiahong to  Huo Guang.

    "Is this really true?" Huo Guang also looked solemn when he heard this, and put away his previous contempt.  To be able to increase grain production by 20% is absolutely huge, and it is simply a leap across the ages.

    "Not only that, the elder also made two artifacts, one is called the Armillary Sphere, which can observe the stars in the sky, and the other is called the Armillary Elephant, which can deduce the changes in the stars in the sky without making mistakes." Zhuo Junchen said with a look of admiration.  .  In this era, the stars are mysterious and are regarded as connected by destiny. Luo Xiahong has insights far beyond this era, which makes Zhuo Junchen respect him as a god.

    "Wait a minutewhat did you just say?" Huo Guang's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhuo Junchen in disbelief and asked.

    "Well I can deduce the changes in the stars in the sky I have seen this with my own eyes, and more than once, there is absolutely no lie" Zhuo Junchen thought Huo Guang didn't believe it, but  He felt that it was normal for Huo Guang not to believe it, because at first even Zhuo Junchen himself did not believe that human power could deduce the changes in the stars. It was not until he confirmed it many times that he really believed it.

    "That's not it. What are the names of those two things you just mentioned?" Huo Guang asked anxiously.

    "The Armillary Sphere and the Armillary Elephantthat's what the elder said" Zhuo Junchen replied with some confusion.

    "The Armillary Sphere turned out to be an Armillary Sphere Oh I really neglected our distinguished guest, Zhuo Weng You are really the noble person in my life, Huo Guang  .No, I have to go see the elder immediately."Sir" Huo Guang became more and more excited as he spoke, and he got up and ran out of the house. Zhuo Junchen looked at Huo Guang leaving with a blank look on his face. When he saw Huo Guang's back, he realized that the general didn't even have his shoes.  They all forgot to put on their clothes and ran out.

    Zhuo Junchen was a little at a loss, and then he hurriedly got up and followed Huo Guang.
